If you file a NOD for an effective date and it's denied does that put you under the VA microscope?

If you filed a NOD for an earlier effective date and the VA denies you do you think that could put you under the VA microscope more? I just wanted to see if I was entitled to an earlier effective date. Do you think I could get hassled more for asking and being denied? When I say hassled I was thinking they might try and start C&P exams earlier and look for reasons to reduce ratings.

Routine future exam date is on the award code sheet. The actual diary date to trigger the RFE is in another program- A processor could (AFAIK) go in and change it- But then the date wouldn't match the code sheet.

Do you think the date is actually wrong?
